AMPERE-OHM SYSTEM 



is interesting in itself, and gives a better insight into the nature 

 of these quantities. Moreover, formula; can sometimes be checked 

 by comparing the physical dimensions on both sides of the equa- 

 tion. Let, for instance, a formula for energy be given 



where k is a numerical coefficient. Substituting the physical 

 dimensions of all the quantities on the right-hand side of the 

 equation from the table below, the result will be found to have 

 iimonsion of energy. This fact adds to one's assurance 

 that the given formula is theoretically correct.
